4 Months Old!

Corina is 4 months old! I thought time flew by when Lukas' first year, but now that there are two to keep up with all I have to do is blink and the whole month is gone. It makes me sad in lots of ways because it feels like I don't get to treasure what she's doing as long. As soon as she learn one new skill, she also seems to have learned 5 more in the following week.

Corina at 4 months:
- is 13lbs 13oz
- 25 3/4 inches
- smiles huge smiles at everything and everyone.
- laughs all the time for Daddy, and sometimes for Mommy.
- enjoys watching Brother talk and play around the room, until he gets too loud and then it's a little scary.
- is very laid back. Only reflux, being tired or hungry make her upset.
- grabs at everything. She likes playing with her toys, jewelry, books, and anything else that catches her eye. Since she's starting to put it all in her mouth, she only needs to play with baby toys.
- sleeps on her tummy.
- sleeps at night for 10-12 hours. Lately this has been a little skewed because she's been waking herself up rolling over or because she's been refluxing at night. When she does wake up, she usually wants a bottle to go back to sleep since she's realized that she's hungry.
- is now on Prevacid for reflux. She's only been on it a week (since 7-21), but it has already drastically reduced the amount of spit-up....and crying....and pouty faces....and general sadness that tiny, adorable baby girl simply should NOT have to endure.
- loves her feet. When she's sitting up, she likes to watch them from above. When she's laying down, she likes to hold on to them and watch them from down below. Feet are simply very interesting!
- can roll over from her tummy to her back.
- can roll over from her back to her tummy. The little stinker has yet to let anyone see the actually rolling, only the completed change in position.
- is beginning to intentionally verbalize. She's putting so much effort into making her mouth make and 'oo' sound or an 'ah' sound, and it' so CUTE!
- loves her Mommy, Daddy, and Brother more and more every day!!!

She loves her mirror! That other baby is very entertaining!



I tried for smiles, but the hands tasted too good.



Lukas and Daddy were reading "The Lion King", and Corina was reading "Winnie the Pooh".









She was really tired, so that's why she keeps rubbing her face into the blanket. Poor baby all she wanted to do was go to bed, and Mommy made her play for the video camera.
